Chapter 148: The Great War is Coming
Little by little, time passed.
Half a month later, in a huge mountain range that stretched for more than 100,000 miles, the flying team crossed a huge peak of thousands of zhang, and suddenly its eyes lit up, and there was a desolate and low-lying land in front of it, and there was no end in sight.
Not far from them, a fortress-like city with a wall of a hundred feet high stood majestically.
Although this city covers an area of only more than ten miles in size, the whole body is made of an unknown material, and from a distance, the entire city is shining, as if there is some magic circle blessed on it.
But at this moment, the outer wall of the city wall was full of potholes, and in some places there were even cracks of different sizes, the small ones were only a few inches thick, and the large ones were several feet wide.
The entire giant city looked like it had just gone through a big battle and was still very dilapidated, and it seemed that the protective circle on it had been broken and directly attacked the city wall.
In the periphery of this city, there are also hundreds of high towers of different heights of different sizes, the same is made of an unknown material, but the high foot is more than 1,000 zhang, the short one is only 1,200 zhang, the whole body is protected by the thick white light, the spire of the tower flashes from time to time with various colors of brilliance, and a huge protective array is built on the periphery of the city wall.
In the vicinity of each tower, there are people coming in and out, or entering the giant city from the tower, or flying into a certain tower from the giant city.
Whether it is these towers or giant cities, there are some people who have their foot magic weapons in the air, and they have engraved various mysterious runes on the towers and city walls, and there are spirit stones inlaid in the center of each rune.
As soon as these runes and spirit stones were blessed on the city walls and towers, the protective brilliance on them increased by a layer.
On the city wall, there were groups of monks patrolling back and forth, and in the nearby air, there were dozens of various spirit beasts and birds circling and flying, condescendingly monitoring the movements around them.
However, because of this, as soon as the flying team flew out of the mountain peak, it was immediately discovered by the people in the giant city.
As a result, after a scream in the giant city, a purple light immediately flew out of the city, and rolled towards this side with a bang, and after a while, it was in front of the flying group, and then as soon as it dispersed, an old man in a purple robe was revealed.
This man was slender, with a thin face and a long white beard under his chin, which was very imposing
It was Yin Liuqi, the only Yuan Infant powerhouse of the Zixiao Sect.
"Meet Uncle Shi, why did your old man come out in person. The head of the Zixiao Sect, who had already walked out, was shocked when he saw Uncle Yin, and immediately hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Several other peak masters of the Jindan period and others naturally saluted in the same respect.
"I calculated the time, and I thought it should be almost you who arrived, so naturally I came out to confirm it myself. It is not easy for you to come so far, so let's go into the city first. Yin Liuqi's eyes swept over everyone on the flying boat, and said with a smile on his face.
The head of the Zixiao Sect naturally said "yes" in his mouth.
As a result, under the personal guidance of Yin Liuqi, a flying magic weapon swaggered into the giant city, and fell down in one of the areas specially designated for the Zixiao Sect.
Lu Xu saw clearly that there were stone houses built in the entire giant city, arranged neatly, and very simply divided into several areas, and the Zixiao Sect occupied one of them.
When the flying team fell, some Zixiao Sect disciples who had been waiting there immediately greeted them.
And under the command of the head of the Zixiao Sect, the new disciples who came down from the flying magic weapon were introduced into some stone houses by these old men, and their accommodations were arranged separately.
The head of the Zixiao Sect and the other Jindan Stage Peak Masters took a group of foundation building period monks, and followed this Yin Master Uncle Ancestor straight to a tall stone hall in the stone house group.
The moment Lu Xu walked into the main hall, his eyes swept away, and he immediately saw a cadre of middle and high-level Zixiao Sect members who were already sitting inside, among which the Bai Peak Lord of Bihan Peak and others were all inside, and the rest were all foundation building period monks, Xiao Mubai, Xue Yutong, Tie Nan and others were also among them.
Obviously, only monks above the foundation period are eligible to participate in such meetings.
After Lu Xu found a back seat and sat down, Yin Liuqi's words sounded in his ears.
"Okay, most of the backbone of my Zixiao Sect is here, while the big war hasn't started yet, let's discuss a few things first. ”
Hearing the words of this sect's only Yuan Infant powerhouse, naturally no one dared not listen, and sat up straight honestly.
"Senior nephew Bai, you are the first to participate in the war, first introduce the specific situation of our six faction alliance forces and the seven sects of the Demon Dao to the later senior brothers. Seeing this, Yin Liuqi said lightly.
"Yes, you brothers and sisters may have some understanding of the current situation through the news they received earlier. But in fact, the situation of the battle between us and the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao was even worse than you expected. The White Peak Lord of Bihan Peak stood up in agreement, and said with a look on everyone's face.
"Senior Brother Bai, please speak. When the head of the Zixiao Sect heard this, his face changed slightly.
Lu Xu and other newcomers were also in their hearts.
"Since the army of the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao was stopped by us in the first round of attacks, both sides knew that they would not be able to defeat each other in a short time, so they each built such a battle city and prepared for a protracted battle. The monks of the Jindan period on both sides also went through several battles and barely reached a draw. A few months ago, the two sides tacitly agreed not to send monks from the Jindan period, and sent disciples from the foundation building stage and the qi refining stage to strangle each other with the battle city as the center, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Especially on our side, because the number of monks in the foundation building period was much less than that of the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao, we suffered a lot of losses after a few big battles. In this way, the Jindan period monks of the various sects did not dare to come forward easily. After several battles, manpower was extremely tight, and even not long ago, the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao attacked the front of the battle city. If it weren't for the Hundred Pagoda Array set up in front of the battle city in advance, which made the Seven Demon Dao Sects suffer a big loss, I am afraid that they would still be trapped in the battle city by the other party. What you have seen from the outside is that we are sending men to strengthen and repair the damaged areas of the battle city, as well as to maintain the defense of the Hundred Pagoda Array, so that it can restore its original strong defensive force as soon as possible. ”
"In addition, just a month ago, the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao sent an envoy to tear up the original agreement that the strong men of the Jindan period would not participate in the war. But the last time the Jindan period of the strong fight, in fact, we fell into the disadvantage, if we agree to the Jindan period of the strong to participate in the war, our side has no chance of winning at all. Fortunately, at this time, the sects of several countries outside the Eight-Nation Alliance have already been on their way overnight, and they are expected to arrive at us in a month. So now our plan is to survive this month no matter what. Fortunately, although the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao said that they would tear up the agreement that the former of the Jindan Period was not allowed to make a move, they were also afraid that the strong people of the Jindan Period on our side would be forced to take revenge on the army of the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao in a hurry, but there were no strong people in the Jindan Period who were really dispatched in the recent battle. It seems that it should be possible to delay a little longer. Lord Bai Feng spoke carefully, his expression was very solemn.
"Uncle Shi, there are a few Yuan Infant Stage cultivators from the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao. After hearing these words, the head of the Zixiao Sect asked Yin Liuqi with a heavy face:
"Don't worry, a few of our old guys fought with the Yuan Infant Stage Monk of the Demon Dao Seven Sects a few months ago, and the two sides have agreed not to make a move, you can rest assured of this, after all, once the Yuan Infant Stage Monk makes a move, the lethality is too great, and the people of the Demon Dao Seven Sects can't bear it. Yin Liuqi said with a smile, not too concerned.
"That's good. The head of the Zixia Sect breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"This battle still depends on you, those of us who are in the infancy stage only play the effect of fixing the sea god needle, even if the battle city is broken, it is absolutely impossible to make a move. Yin Liuqi thought of the current unfavorable situation and sighed.
"Well, now it's all about how to get through the current difficulties. Although a few of our old fellows can't make a move, but in the near future, I'm afraid that your Jindan stage monks will be going to join the war, and then you must fight back a few times and beat the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao to the pain, so that you won't push us too much, so that you can have time to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Master's nephew, did you bring all the things I asked you to bring?" Yin Liuqi's eyes flashed a few times, and then he quickly regained his composure and asked the head of the Zixia Sect.
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, I have brought all those things. The head of the Zixiao Sect replied respectfully.
"Good. Yin Liuqi suddenly showed a satisfied look on his face.
Lu Xu knew that the few things that Yin Liuqi said were several treasures of the Zhenzong in the Zixiao Sect, and they were not allowed to be used until the most critical moment, among which was a seventh-level powerful ghost, which was equivalent to a monk in the late stage of the Jindan period.
In the following time, under the auspices of Yin Liuqi, the middle and high-level officials of the Zixiao Sect discussed a few things to prepare for the war, and finally ended the meeting, and everyone left one after another to Yin Liuqi.
In the blink of an eye, in the main hall, only the head of the Zixiao Sect and Yin Liuqi were still discussing in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Liang, may I ask if your ** peak's Fu Jundie sisters are here?" After Lu Xu walked out of the main hall, he found a foundation building period monk who was quite familiar with ** peak and asked.
"No, they've been assigned to other places to guard the resource, and I don't know exactly where. The monk surnamed Liang thought for a while.
"Oh, that's good. Lu Xu relieved himself a little, chatted a few more words and left.
That's it. Lu Xu was in a stone house assigned to him, and he was in retreat for half a month.
Just when he took another Qingyang Pill and increased the strength of his physical body by a few points, suddenly there was a tight bell ringing outside the stone house!
Lu Xu had already been told about the relevant things, so he naturally immediately knew that this was the alarm sound of the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao starting to attack the battle city, so he hurriedly collected the exercises, got up and pushed open the stone gate.
As he strode outside, he saw that the whole city was in a commotion.
In the giant city, a flying magic weapon and monks of various sects rose from the sky in dense clusters.
On the city wall, groups of patrolling monks rushed to the top of the city, and quickly set up a large protective weapon, aiming it at the far distance.
Lu Xu frowned, patted the storage bag on his waist, and the cyan flying sword appeared, and he lifted it to a high place, and in a blink of an eye, he was hundreds of zhang in the air, and he could see the situation near the giant city and in the distance clearly.
